T0 all whom it mayI concern.'

Be it'known that I, OSCAR KATZENBERGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, inthe county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Lavatory-Strike, of which the following is a, full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements 1n what are known as strikes, and particularly to lavatory strikes, and has for. an object to provide an improved structure which may be readily applied to marble slabs or other supports of various thicknesses without injuring the slab or support, or the strike.

Another object of the invention is to pro-1 vide a strike with an adjustable'plate interlocking with the bumper carrying portion of the strike whereby the entire structure may he rmly clamped to a slab ofvmarble or other support. y

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a side view of an embodiment of the invention, the same being shown applied; Fig. 2 is an edge view of approximately on line l1--4:; Fig. 4 is a sectional view through Fig. 3 approximately on line 4 4; Fig. 5 is a detailed fragmentary through one of the plates shown in Fig.v3, the same being taken on line 5-5 ofFig. '3; Fig.` 6 is a sectional view taken throughl one of the plates, the same being taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 3. Y p

' Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates a marble slab or other support and 2 'a door. Arranged adjacent the marble slab l is a clamping plate 3 formed with ears or enlargements 4 and 5, which ears or enlargements slots or notches 6 and 7 which accommodate the locking flanges 8'and 9 arranged on the face plate 10, which faceplate is part of the side plate 11. The face plate 10 as shown in Fig. 3 is wider than the slab 1 so that slabs of various thicknesses may he used, or rather the strike is adapted for slabs ofl various thicknesses without necessitating any chance of injury to the slab or to the strike. In

case the slab 1 was thicker than shown in would merely be edge 12. Conisfa bumper receiving socket member 13 which may be held 1ny place by any suitable means, as for in- Fig. 3 the clamping plate 3 moved farther toward the stance projections 14 extending through the faceplate 10, which projections areupset'y the structure shownV in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section through Fig. 1

are formed with or rivetedr as shown in Fig. 3. The socket member 13 is designed to receive a bumper 15 ofany desired material, as for instance rubber, so as to not only stop the movement of door 2 but cushion the closing thereof. It is to be noted that the various parts of the strike are formed from pressed material, and that the face plate l0 is merely an extension of the side plate 11. It will also be noted that face plate 10 has the sides thereof l1 as shown in Fig. 3 whereby the clamping plate 3 may be threaded over the flanges 8 and 9 before the device is applied. In Fig. 6 it will be observed that the portions 1 and 5 may be easily fitted into notches 16 and 17 after which the clamping plate may be slid properly over the flanges 8 and 9. After the plates have been arranged as shown in Fig. 3 a bolt 18 is passed through a suitable hole provided in the slab 1 and through the'apertures provided in the plates 3 and 11. Upon tightening up the nuts of the bolt the strike is ready for use.

What I claim is` 1. In a strike of the character pair of plates, one of said plates Iacting as a front plate and the other as a clamping plate, a'face plate extending from said front plate, said face plate being formed with diverging flanges, said clamping plate being formed with diverging slots designed to accommodate said flanges, means for holding a bumper n said face plate, and means for clamping said clamping plate and said front plate to a support.

2. -In a strike of the character described, a pair of clamping plates adapted to fit on opposite sides of a support, a clamping bolt for clamping said plates to said support,l one described, a

of said clamping plates being formed with bodyoffthe first mentioned' clamping plate allowing the ready application of said second mentionedclamplng plate before-the plates are arranged on said support, and

means for holding a bumper on said face E plate.

l 3. In a supporting lixture of the character described, a pair of plates, one of said plates acting'as a front plate and theother as a n clamping plate, and a'face plate extending 10 from said front plate, said face plate having
